Life and all the shananigins!

OK rant time. Everyday on the school run I get annoyed with what parents do, parking on the pavement, blocking people in and even driving along the pavement rather than giving way to on coming traffic. Our local policeman has been out on a number of occasions but it has no effect, the school ask parents to be considerate but it falls on deaf ears. What annoys me the most is that its these people who would be the first to protest if their child was knocked over walking on the pavement! Please think of the safety of others when choosing where to park and not just where is the closest to the gate you can park!!!

I had to be quite discreet but what you can’t see is that cars are parked all along the right hand pavement and 5 mins after this it was worse!

All about me!

For those of you who didn’t read my old blog, or just want to remind yourself of my background, here goes…….

I’m a 33 year old single mum. I have two daughters, B is 8 and H is 3. I have been single since I was 5 months pregnant with H, and yes they both have the same dad. They see him alternate weekends and holidays unless he is away with work.

When my marriage broke down I moved the length of the country to be back at home near family and unfortunately lost my job due to the credit crunch too. I returned to work in March 2010, as a Family Support Worker. It’s such a rewarding job but hard work too. I’m now in a new relationship with Mr D and have the added dynamics of his children and how they fit into both my life and my girls lives! Being a parent brings some challenges but I wouldn’t change it!

As a single mum it’s a great way to view my opinions and get other points of view. Don’t get me wrong I have some fantastic friends and family on my doorstep and I talk things through with them. Sometimes the view of a perfect stranger is a breeze of fresh air though.

So be warned, I really am getting into this now and I am likely to post some utter drivel as well as some (hopefully) interesting stuff. All I ask is that you comment honestly, I don’t expect my opinions to be agreeable to everyone and at times I will be looking for some opinions that contradict my own.
